I wanted to make my cygwin xfree86 server as secure as possible, and I have the perception that the following would help.
1. Stop the tcp listener 2. Enable the authentication cookies Although I did not see it documented it seems I can successfully stop the tcp listener by modifying 1 line in my startxwin.bat as follows start XWin -nolisten tcp and adding this line below it set DISPLAY=:0.0 However I trawled the man pages about the cookies, and found the X startup scripts in SuSE Linux (which has cookies) to be complex enough that it would be a small project to convert them to cygwin. Can you suggest a howto or simpler example scripts to enforce cookies? Thanks in advance. David
